1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:03,000
Karen Hart, tell me about your vision.

2
00:00:06,760 --> 00:00:11,400
Yeah, so just as a mom of four daughters,

3
00:00:11,400 --> 00:00:14,960
it's so important for us to be such great role models.

4
00:00:14,960 --> 00:00:17,240
And as I've gone through life,

5
00:00:17,240 --> 00:00:19,920
thinking I had to do one thing,

6
00:00:19,920 --> 00:00:22,120
and then just realizing that actually

7
00:00:22,120 --> 00:00:24,720
I have the power to do whatever I want,

8
00:00:24,720 --> 00:00:28,200
and being able to pivot and change that,

9
00:00:28,200 --> 00:00:33,200
and live more aligned to who I am and what my values are.

10
00:00:33,280 --> 00:00:37,960
I worked, I'm a nurse by trade

11
00:00:37,960 --> 00:00:40,640
and have been for over 23 years.

12
00:00:40,640 --> 00:00:43,560
And I kind of came out of school,

13
00:00:43,560 --> 00:00:46,920
this is what I'm gonna do for the next 50 years

14
00:00:46,920 --> 00:00:48,720
while I was working.

15
00:00:48,720 --> 00:00:50,800
And then having a family come along,

16
00:00:50,800 --> 00:00:55,800
it was just that realization that having a career

17
00:00:55,800 --> 00:00:59,280
and having children, you can absolutely have both.

18
00:00:59,280 --> 00:01:01,280
However, I just wanted it to look different

19
00:01:01,280 --> 00:01:05,600
because I had gone up into management,

20
00:01:05,600 --> 00:01:10,160
I'd studied a lot and was working long hours and long days

21
00:01:10,160 --> 00:01:11,600
and not seeing my family.

22
00:01:11,600 --> 00:01:13,520
So I was really out of alignment

23
00:01:13,520 --> 00:01:16,280
and just not role modeling to them.

24
00:01:16,280 --> 00:01:21,280
And I think I worked on that and then came into actually,

25
00:01:21,280 --> 00:01:24,120
there's something else I can do and I can change that

26
00:01:24,120 --> 00:01:27,120
and flip that and have more focus,

27
00:01:27,120 --> 00:01:29,840
more positive, great energy,

28
00:01:29,840 --> 00:01:33,600
rather than this kind of working really hard

29
00:01:33,600 --> 00:01:35,160
in a job all the time.

30
00:01:35,160 --> 00:01:37,960
And so to be able to empower other women

31
00:01:37,960 --> 00:01:40,120
to realize and recognize,

32
00:01:40,120 --> 00:01:41,960
are they actually living in alignment?

33
00:01:41,960 --> 00:01:45,120
Are they living true to themselves?

34
00:01:45,120 --> 00:01:47,720
And often it's sometimes because we don't know who we are,

35
00:01:47,720 --> 00:01:51,120
we get a little lost in motherhood and in work

36
00:01:51,120 --> 00:01:56,120
and everybody else's stuff that we forget who we are.

37
00:01:57,120 --> 00:01:59,000
And so it's just really about bringing it back

38
00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:02,240
to discovering who we are and what we want to do.

39
00:02:02,240 --> 00:02:04,440
And that's different for everybody.

40
00:02:04,440 --> 00:02:07,560
And then trusting ourselves to then be able

41
00:02:07,560 --> 00:02:11,640
to lead ourselves into living our authentic selves.

42
00:02:11,640 --> 00:02:13,320
Absolutely.

43
00:02:13,320 --> 00:02:14,600
Awesome.

44
00:02:14,600 --> 00:02:19,600
Now, I wanna ask, how did you get started

45
00:02:19,600 --> 00:02:24,600
and how do you go about helping others find this centeredness

46
00:02:25,200 --> 00:02:26,800
and balance that you have?

47
00:02:26,800 --> 00:02:29,800
Now, before you answer that question though,

48
00:02:29,800 --> 00:02:33,960
you mentioned that you were a nurse for 20 something years

49
00:02:33,960 --> 00:02:37,160
and you can't be that much older than 20 something years old.

50
00:02:37,160 --> 00:02:39,600
Oh, I am curious.

51
00:02:39,600 --> 00:02:41,600
Like when did you get started too

52
00:02:41,600 --> 00:02:45,840
in the transition from nursing to coaching others?

53
00:02:45,840 --> 00:02:48,680
How did you get started and what does that look like?

54
00:02:48,680 --> 00:02:50,720
And let's try to make that,

55
00:02:50,720 --> 00:02:52,680
I'm gonna pressure you into making that less

56
00:02:52,680 --> 00:02:56,880
than a two minute response so that people get it quick.

57
00:02:59,160 --> 00:03:00,120
Yeah, absolutely.

58
00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:04,200
So I did, I left school, went to uni, studied nursing,

59
00:03:04,200 --> 00:03:06,040
studied heaps all across the board

60
00:03:06,040 --> 00:03:08,920
and had worked my way up through into management.

61
00:03:09,960 --> 00:03:14,960
What got me started into coaching is

62
00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:17,320
I had been working with a coach

63
00:03:17,320 --> 00:03:20,360
and I guess I had an aha moment

64
00:03:20,360 --> 00:03:24,400
that actually I can do something other than healthcare

65
00:03:24,400 --> 00:03:27,680
and nursing that I kind of thought I was stuck in.

66
00:03:27,680 --> 00:03:31,520
And so it was that permission to be able to,

67
00:03:31,520 --> 00:03:33,600
and I'd always loved personal development

68
00:03:33,600 --> 00:03:36,360
and having four daughters, it was like,

69
00:03:36,360 --> 00:03:40,160
I seeing them grow up and knowing how I also grew up

70
00:03:40,160 --> 00:03:44,080
as a teen girl, being able to role model

71
00:03:44,080 --> 00:03:47,480
and give them skills and tools along the way as well.

72
00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:52,280
And so it's only for the last couple of years

73
00:03:52,280 --> 00:03:54,080
that I've been doing this and studying

74
00:03:54,080 --> 00:03:56,160
and I've had lots of skills along the way

75
00:03:56,160 --> 00:03:57,880
in nursing anyway through coaching.

76
00:03:57,880 --> 00:03:59,440
It's just looks a little bit different

77
00:03:59,440 --> 00:04:02,280
to actual sitting down with somebody.

78
00:04:02,280 --> 00:04:05,400
And so now I work with women in three pillars.

79
00:04:05,400 --> 00:04:08,280
I've got self discovery, self trust and self leadership

80
00:04:08,280 --> 00:04:10,880
and we work through the process.

81
00:04:10,880 --> 00:04:13,360
I've got hypnosis tools, NLP tools

82
00:04:13,360 --> 00:04:16,920
and just general coaching to be able to help them find

83
00:04:16,920 --> 00:04:18,680
and work out what that is for them.

84
00:04:19,720 --> 00:04:20,920
That's awesome.

85
00:04:20,920 --> 00:04:23,320
My hope for you is that you maintain

86
00:04:23,320 --> 00:04:28,000
your resolute confidence in all that you've been able

87
00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:29,800
to accumulate to do what you do.

88
00:04:29,800 --> 00:04:31,920
I believe in you 100%.

89
00:04:31,920 --> 00:04:34,400
And I believe in every mom that's out there.

90
00:04:34,400 --> 00:04:38,200
And the reason why, like, well, it's just obvious,

91
00:04:38,200 --> 00:04:40,880
but for anybody who doesn't find that obvious,

92
00:04:40,880 --> 00:04:45,040
to manage, right?

93
00:04:45,040 --> 00:04:47,720
Especially like to help people with growth,

94
00:04:47,720 --> 00:04:49,760
there's nothing harder.

95
00:04:49,760 --> 00:04:51,400
You can't fire your children.

96
00:04:52,320 --> 00:04:53,160
Right?

97
00:04:53,160 --> 00:04:56,800
You don't get rid of, you love them no matter what

98
00:04:56,800 --> 00:04:58,840
and they can hate us, right?

99
00:04:58,840 --> 00:05:01,720
They can be so mad at us, you know, or whatever.

100
00:05:01,720 --> 00:05:03,680
They can feel whatever they want

101
00:05:03,680 --> 00:05:06,000
and we can't give up and we don't give up.

102
00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:07,720
We don't want to give up, right?

103
00:05:07,720 --> 00:05:10,520
So I mean, you had a career as well,

104
00:05:10,520 --> 00:05:13,960
but I meet mothers who are stay-at-home moms

105
00:05:13,960 --> 00:05:17,680
who 30 years later, they want to get back in the workforce

106
00:05:17,680 --> 00:05:20,040
and they feel like they're unqualified

107
00:05:20,040 --> 00:05:21,000
or they can't do anything.

108
00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:22,920
No, they're the best managers.

109
00:05:22,920 --> 00:05:26,040
They're the ones who know how to bring a team together.

110
00:05:26,040 --> 00:05:29,160
So yeah, you have every right to coach

111
00:05:29,160 --> 00:05:32,720
regardless of the nursing background and all that.

112
00:05:32,720 --> 00:05:34,000
I love your mission.

113
00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:34,840
I love what you're up to.

114
00:05:34,840 --> 00:05:36,760
I'm excited to see you succeed.
